Americana Music Triangle The Americana Music Triangle is home to music's greatest story: nine distinct genres born in one tiny, mystical slice of the globe. We’ll take you there.
(7)

Nine original genres of music. 1500 miles of highway. One resource to explore it all. From the moon, it’s just a triangle. But this tiny sliver of the Southeastern United States left its permanent mark on the world as the birthplace of Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock 'N' Roll, R&B/Soul, Gospel, Southern Gospel, Cajun/Zydeco and Bluegrass music. The Americana Music Triangle is overflowing with the stori

es and songs, legends and landmarks, struggles and triumphs that created the country’s most powerful cultural export: the music heard all over the world. Explore the Triangle for yourself on the Gold Record Road, a route connecting New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville and all of the small towns, juke joints, h***y tonks and dance halls in between. For music lovers and curious explorers of the world, this trip is an irresistible chance to experience first-hand the bold, gritty energy and creative musical magic of this place in a way that no book, article, or film can match. The Gold Record Road is a fascinating journey, and AmericanaMusicTriangle.com is your guide. Part historical resource and part road trip planner, this collection of music history sites and attractions has been carefully curated by a team of experts and adventurers focused on answering one question:
how did so much music come from one small, unassuming place? See, hear, taste, and experience the answers
for yourself.

Bo Diddley was born in 1928 in McComb Mississippi surrounded with numerous musical influences around him. Diddley was an influential American rock and roll singer, songwriter, and guitarist.

Often cited as a key figure in the transition from blues to rock and roll, he introduced insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged guitar sound. Known for his music's powerful, rumba-like beat, he was also famous for his characteristic rectangular guitar and wild stage antics. His pioneering contribution to rockabilly through artists such as Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and helped him receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.

Kitty Wells is remembered for breaking the barriers women had in country music and emerging as a breakout star of her time. A Nashville native, Wells had been passionate about music during her upbringing, but the lack of women in the genre was disheartening at the time. Recognizing her talent, Wells started singing and songwriting until she eventually created her hit song “It Wasn’t God Who Made H***y Tonk Angels.” Her beautiful vocals and elegant songwriting earned not only her spot as an established country music artist, but also created a path for women in country to follow and create names for themselves. She garnered multiple accomplishments throughout her career such as becoming the first female solo artist with a number one hit, induction into the country music hall of fame and receiving a music city living legend award.
